Answer:

93.28%

Explanation:

To solve the percent yield we need to find theoretical yield:

<em>Percent yield = Actual Yield (452.78g) / Theoretical yield * 100</em>

<em />

Theoretical yield is obtained converting the mass of acetylene to moles and using the balanced equation determine the moles of CO₂ produced assuming a 100% of reaction:

<em>Moles acetylene (Molar mass: 26.04g/mol)</em>

143.6g C₂H₂ * (1mol / 26.04g) = 5.515 moles C₂H₂

<em>Moles CO₂:</em>

5.515 moles C₂H₂ * (4 moles CO₂ / 2mol C₂H₂) = 11.029moles CO₂

<em>Mass CO₂ (Molar mass: 44.01g/mol):</em>

11.029moles CO₂  * (44.01g / mol) = 485.39g CO₂ is theoretical yield

Percent yield is:

Percent yield = 452.78g / 485.39g * 100

= 93.28%

Plz answer thx<br><br><br> ​How many moles are in 2.5 x 10^18 grams of water?
alex41 [277]

Answer:

1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.

Explanation:

Mass of water = m = 2.5\times 10^{18} g

Molar mass of water = M = 18 g/mol

Moles = n = \frac{m}{M}

n=\frac{2.5\times 10^{18} g}{18 g/mol}=1.39\times 10^{17} moles

So, there are 1.39\times 10^{17} moles of water in 2.5\times 10^{18} g of water.
